This post is about the finale of Battlestar Galactica. Don't click if you haven't seen it, and even if you have, don't click unless you want a rant.

Finale? What finale? THERE WAS NO FINALE, GOT IT?! *denial*

Speaking of, something you might enjoy if you haven't seen it: a Kara vid circa s4, minus the glowy bits, that is beautiful and haunting.

Ohh, I have downloaded that but am afraid of getting triggered into another rage fit. :D I'm not so good with the denial, as you can see... I'll work on it.

That's what I think infuriates me about the whole ending -- her 'ascension' writes off all of her accomplishments at the very least since her return. Really, by saying that there was a purpose and a destiny all along, it writes off her entire life. It's absolutely insane, so I completely understand the rage!!

But the vid, it's something different.

It's... it's Kara being drug into fate while kicking and screaming. In a subtle way, it's math and music and memory. It's anger and confusion and abandonment. It's not even as depressing as it sounds because it's not angelic!Kara (and whosoever purports that as an ideal should be drawn and quartered without mercy) and therefore it does her the respect of... of being human amidst inhuman circumstances and still going forward.

Oh. You mean it gives her the respect that Ron didn't have for her? Ok, I'm sold. I'll watch it.
